Electing the Unelected

One of the enduring fixtures of American politics is that elections are largely decided by a relatively small group of "independent" voters in the centre. Or at least that's where we think they are. One of the great principles that such voters will enunciate is that they "vote for the man (and when called upon …

Adam Gadahn: The Thin Line of Personal Choice

The charge of treason against Adam Gadahn is a reminder that the line--and consequences--of pesonal choice is very thin, as we commented earlier.

Marriage in Massachusetts: We Knew It Would Be Like This

Somehow we're getting a bad case of "deja vu all over again" in the proposal to restrict Episcopal churches to simply bless people rather than actually marry them.

They weren't explicit enough, and since he was a known homosexual... Traditionally, the Herald isn't known to duck a …

The Unexpected Lesson of Mark Foley

The Republicans got another--and unneeded--setback in their quest to retain control of the House of Representatives with the resignation of Representative Mark Foley over his sexually charged emails to some of his pages. The fact that these are disgusting and that he needs to go is not in question, at least not for us. The …
